A GOOD SNACK? MAYBE NOT!


   You grab a snack bar rushing off to work or while at work. Think you're gonna have a healthy snack while on the move? Maybe your snack bar isn't as healthy as you think!
There a hundreds of snack bars on the market today. Many of which make claims of being healthy. A healthy snack? Maybe not! Research by Choice magazine showed that only a handful of those bars actually have the nutritional value they claim.






 










Many of those bars were loaded with sugar, saturated fats and salt. There was one yogurt bar that had more of those things in it than a mars bar! Did you know that most of the fruit in health bars doesn't come from real fruit but from the lab instead. If that's so, what nutritional value does it have? Answer, NONE! Don't be fooled when the wrapper of your snack has those pretty pictures of fruit when it has no real fruit at all! In fact, it has more the total opposite of what real fruit has.

How can you make sure your snack bar is really healthy? Read your labels. It's all there!!
